Obama Gunning for the Second Amendment

This will seem like a strange way to open a piece of commentary, but the gun owners who voted for Barack Obama believing he respected Second Amendment rights remind me of the bumbling Inspector Clouseau. Specifically, I think of the scene from “The Return of the Pink Panther” in which Clouseau was getting a real dressing down from his superior, Chief Inspector Dreyfus.
The issue was that Clouseau had naively stood by talking to a “blind” organ grinder outside a bank while the institution was being robbed. After Dreyfus pointed out that the organ grinder was the lookout for the thieves and Clouseau said that such a thing was impossible because the beggar was blind, Dreyfus asked how Clouseau knew this. Clouseau replied, “He told me so.”
Quite frankly, this wasn’t nearly as stupid as believing that a member of Chicago’s socialist New Party, who was weaned in a black power church, was a gun caesar and not a gun seizer. And now Obama is in fact striking a blow against the Second Amendment. He isn’t doing anything obvious such as advocating a ban on semi-automatic rifles, however (not yet); rather, in typical Saul Alinsky “Rules for Radicals” style, he is attacking where his adversaries least expect.
//edited out Step 1, the destruction of government brass; it's now been reversed//
Now let’s get to step two. The government is also talking about requiring ammunition manufacturers to “code” ammo. This means that a code would have to be stamped on each bullet so that it could be traced back to whoever bought it if it was recovered at a crime scene (this will really help with criminals who steal ammo). This would also raise ammo’s cost a bit, but that’s not what is so sinister about the proposal. It also includes a provision stating that uncoded ammo — meaning, everything people own currently — would have to be disposed of by 2011.
Now, let me spell this out. The coding measure will force people to get rid of their old ammo. And with the new DOD shell-casing directive, Obama has ensured that higher prices and possibly lower supply will make it harder to buy new ammo. In other words, he’s robbing people of their stockpiles while ensuring that they won’t be able to replenish them.
Oh, are you wondering why some people may stockpile ammo? It’s very simple: It’s like insurance. If there is a disaster causing social breakdown, such as the L.A. riots, Hurricane Katrina or something worse, it will be too late to run to the store and pick up 500 rounds. The shelves will be empty. And then you’ll be left defenseless against rampaging gangs, who, mind you, don’t worry much about running afoul of gun laws.
But, then again, let not your heart be troubled. I’m sure Obama and his security force will be there to protect you when the time comes.

Had the many gun owners who voted for Obama and now regret it listened a bit more carefully we would all be a lot better off. I now ask gun owners how they voted when they start to bitch and some get real quiet.

The DoD will go with a new battle rifle before long and new ammo and it
won't have a case to reload. The rest of the world is basically disarmed with
regard to Milspec type weapons.The Marxists that have taken over our country are only waiting for the right 'crisis' to unleash their wrath on us.

Don't worry, there will be no money left in this country to introduce a new rifle and ammunition for awhile.
